[QUOTE="Texas, post: 664652, member: 42267"] Got me excited, I now have an active bid on ebay for a D750. None to be found on mpb or keh. NONE. But lots on ebay. As to "why do folks use DX glass on FX", one speculation I have is the sensor quality. For some magic mathematical or other reason I don't understand, FX sensors have superior high iso noise and DR to comparable DX sensors. Using a DX lens on an FX will also bring the somewhat enhanced depth of field for macro use. Cost vs. performance makes me choose a few year old FX over a high performance modern DX body. I do love a bargain and the regular release of super Nikons and Sony and Fuji drives down the price of some excellent gear. I expect to run the new D750 in DX mode with a couple of my favorite lenses until I find it unsatisfactory for some reason. As long as the cropped area is 10-12 mpixels it will be fine, resolution wise, for my uses. Even better, the D750 appears to have a zero time for the learning curve coming from the D7100. My J5 has a very handy flippy screen which will be nice on the 750 as well. [/QUOTE]
